Re: [gtk-list] how to set bg pixmaps for labels

[Havoc Pennington <rhp zirx pair com>]

Labels are so-called "no window" widgets, which means they don't have an
associated X window; so you can't set their background. Labels render
themselves to their parent widget, and are "transparent" in a sense. You
can set the background of the parent, or place the label in a GtkEventBox
and set the event box's background.
